Accreditation

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is committed to quality of care and service. Participation in the accreditation process is a key action by which we measure our clinical and operational performance against established healthcare provider standards. It enables us to identify opportunities to improve patient care and service, in a way that is transparent and holds us accountable to our communities.

Accreditation Canada's accreditation program - developed over 50 years - has a high degree of recognition in the international healthcare community. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, for example, stipulates that residency programs will operate only in Accreditation Canada accredited facilities.

“These are practices that demonstrate our commitment to continuous quality improvement, our use of research evidence, and our pursuits to solve problems in transformational ways with greater positive impacts for the people we serve” says Kirsten Krull, vice president, quality and performance, and chief nursing executive, HHS.
